George Santos’ ex-boyfriend says he never went to work and claims to “get money from Citigroup”

GOP Rep-elect George Santos admits to lying about his resume.

New allegations about Republican Congressman-elect George Santos’ dishonesty were revealed on Sunday, this time by an ex-boyfriend.

Pedro Vilarva told the New York Times that he met Santos in 2014 when he was 18 and Santos was 26. They began dating a few months later and Santos asked him to move in with him.

Vilarva ended up paying many of the bills because Santos never actually went to work despite telling him that he works as an investor for Citigroup.


“He used to say he would get money from Citigroup, he was an investor,” Vilarva said. “One day it’s one thing, one day it’s another thing. He never ever actually went to work.”

Their relationship began to unravel in 2015 due to Santos’ dishonesty. In one instance, Vilarva said Santos surprised him with tickets to Hawaii that did not actually exist. Vilarva also told The Times that he believes Santos stole his cellphone and pawned it.

Santos admitted last month to lying about his résumé. He previously claimed he worked at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, graduated from Baruch College and New York University with degrees in finance and economics and that he is Jewish.


Santos told the New York Post that he didn’t “directly” worked for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup and had not graduated from Baruch College, nor “from any institution of higher learning.”

He told the Post he had “never claimed to be Jewish” but had rather asserted he was “Jew-ish” because his grandmother had told him stories about being Jewish before converting to Catholicism.

Santos is currently under investigation by federal authorities and prosecutors in Nassau County, NY. He’s facing calls from Democrats to stop down but said in his interview with The Post that he plans to serve a full two year term in the House.


Vilarva told The Times he is worried about what impact Santos might have as an elected official.

“I would be scared to have someone like that in charge — having so much power in his hands,” he said.
